Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a 10 ohm resistor is connected to a 30V battery, what is the energy consumed in 5 seconds?
  • Step 1: Identify the values given in the problem. We have a resistor of 10 ohms and a battery of 30 volts.
  • Step 2: Use the formula for power (P) which is P = V^2 / R, where V is voltage and R is resistance.
  • Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula: P = (30V)^2 / 10 ohms.
  • Step 4: Calculate (30V)^2, which is 900.
  • Step 5: Divide 900 by 10 ohms to find the power: 900 / 10 = 90 watts (W).
  • Step 6: Now, calculate the energy consumed using the formula: Energy = Power * Time.
  • Step 7: Substitute the power and time into the formula: Energy = 90 W * 5 seconds.
  • Step 8: Multiply 90 by 5 to find the energy: 90 * 5 = 450 joules (J).
